FACTS THAT ARE pata value that makes certain its evéntaal con- ! struction. Senator Bulkley, of Ohio, recently catapulted the idea into the limelight by estimating that it would cost $8,000,000,- 000 to build 20,000 miles of highwa a 300-fott right-of-way, providing not less than four lanes of traffic for passenger and | freight vehicles.

It could be laid out so as to serve all *\aéetions of the country and promote the Fqpitable Hevelopment of the areas that make up c®ntinental L nited States. It seems to us that if the nation under- takes such a project some means should be found to acquire sufficient land on both | sides of the highways to control deve!op- ment and, at the same time, through leases or sales, secure much of the profit that will follow enhanced values of land along the highways. If the government does for itself what it did for some of the railroads some- thing like this will be done and much of the cost of the highway system could be repaid Ly capturing most of the increase in the value of land along the right of way. ‘TRIBE IN THE UNITED STATES. ‘THESE INDIANS, WHO ARE DESCENDANTS OF THE PYRAMID BUILDERS OF CENTRAL AMERICA, LIVE IN THE SECOND MESA, ARIZONA WN BUILDINGS TUAT WERE ERECTED BEFORE ENGLAND WAS INLASTED TuRY CANCE WITH UVE POISONOUS SNAKES INTER MOUTHS WITHOUT SEMOVING TUS FANGS.
